Try this list. I had a site that was run by one guy who could get just
about any part you wanted but I seem to have misplaced the URL.

(about 15 years old).  It has a scored piston and cylinder, but is
otherwise in great shape (previous owner forgot to mix the gas).  Rather
than spend the big bucks on new parts, I've seen used "parts saws" go
reasonable on ebay.  What I'd like to know is what other model saw would
have pistons and cylinders that would fit (I assume that many of these
engines are modular sharing the same bottom end and stroke, only
differing by the cylinder bore).  Would perhaps a 525 or a 520
cylinder/piston combo work, or a 625?  Obviously I'd be enlarging or
reducing the engine displacement, but all I care is that the saw will
run and cut (it currently has a 16" bar, so a smaller displacement
engine will still have adequate power).

the same fate of running on straight gas.  After having sat on my shelf
for 5 years, I pulled it down last weekend, cleaned the carb, and it
fired up and ran great - I proceded to cut 1/2 a cord of firewood.
Would be nice to have a resource to go to for parts and other info if
one existed on-line.
